This weekend I had the great opportunity to work as one of the clinicians with the JBV Coaching/Fulcrum coaching cross clinic with JPow. The clinic was 8 hours of cross, we broke up in to groups by ability levels and took time to really break down folks technique and help folks improve.
The bulk of the day Rusty and I worked with the beginner group. After lunch Mayhew had offered me the chance to trade groups, but I have to admit, I was so proud of the folks and had so much fun with them I wanted to keep working with them.All in all the day was a huge success, I learned a lot, I hope folks learned from me, and it was just a great day. i am already looking forward to next year's clinic.
here are some highlights of the day for me:

-Petra in my group really picking up the dismount/mount technique.
-Becky, a padwon of Nsytrom just killing it. She is going to have a break out season.
-during our off camber section I was chasing JPOW around a section. That in of it self was
awesome, then I tried to go inside around a tight 180, and he totally slammed the door on me hard. I had to put my foot down, he comments, "sorry I had to McCormick you..."
-JPOW is super cool. I was really impressed and am now a fan.
-JPOW called me fat.
-Burritos for lunch.
-Ann Rock with Jimmy in tow. Jimmy was in my group.
-The passion and dedication that Dan, Mayhew and Rusty put into prepping this thing was just awesome
-the campers were super into it, very focused worked really hard.
-Glenda in my group who said to me, "It's not Linda, but Glenda, like the good witch, after I say that to people they never forget." she's right I won't
- watching JPOW bunny hop barriers never ever gets old.
thanks to everyone the came out the clinic was super fun, thanks for letting be apart of this really great day.

Dude, I am never inviting you back. You did a way better job with the campers than I did and it made me look bad.
Kidding, you were awesome. So glad you could make it down.
so cool...i get really stoked seeing people start to "get" cross. you guys were like a group of travelling evangelists spreading the word of 'cross. nice work.
Thanks for the awesome day and shoutout, Marc. I loved watching JPow shut you down around that corner. Hope you got what you needed out of the day, too. I did. See you at Lilypons!
Thanks for the honorable mention... the clinic was great fun and I think cyclocross is addictive :-) in a good way.
Nice job yerself Marc! It's fun to watch you demonstrate, you are one smooth operator. JPow was definitely a good sport and a class act. I have to say, Anne and I look pretty good over those barriers!
